Chapter 361 The Rise and Fall of Roca Civilization
"Roca?!"
Hearing [Su Zheng]'s words, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but let out a suppressed exclamation.
Although he had long guessed that [Su Zheng] and Roca civilization had some kind of connection, Chen Fan never thought that [Su Zheng] was actually "rescued" by Roca civilization!
Yes, rescue.
Judging from the first time Chen Fan saw the planet spirit, although the macroscopic void where the planet spirit is located is not large, for a rocky planet without any power source, it is still an endless vast ocean.
At least, before the energy in the planet's core is completely exhausted, the rocky planet will definitely not be able to reach the nearest star system!
Chen Fan's thoughts moved, and he quickly remembered [Su Zheng]'s first reaction when he heard about Roca civilization.
"Roca civilization...what did it do to you?"
Chen Fan asked in a deep voice.
"...Since the contact was made, the detector of the Roca civilization has been staying in the synchronous orbit of this planet."
[Su Zheng] said softly: "At that time, in order to send out that high-intensity electromagnetic wave signal, Xiao Er temporarily fell into a deep sleep due to energy shortage, and the object of my communication became the detector."
"Strictly speaking, this is my first contact with an alien civilization."
"I have too many expectations for the Roca civilization."
"You should understand, right?" [Su Zheng] sighed, "For a drowning person, any straw that floats by is crucial."
Chen Fan nodded silently.
At this moment, he already had some guesses in his heart-this universe is not the pan-universe under the jurisdiction of the Human Union.
Without the rules and constraints formulated by the super civilization, there is no doubt that this universe is dark.
The term "win-win cooperation" will never exist between two civilizations with absolute disparity in strength.
Therefore, after exposing its own existence, it is probably not a good thing to face [Su Zheng]-the "natural" artificial intelligence, in the eyes of the Roca civilization, is probably no different from Tang Monk on the journey to the West to obtain scriptures.
Moreover, Tang Seng was walking alone, without any protection!
"In order to gain the trust of the Roca civilization and to show them my own value, I told them almost everything except the existence of Xiao Er."
"Including my own existence."
[Su Zheng] was silent for a moment, and the blue-red light on his body dimmed: "Facts have proved that this is an extremely wrong decision."
"About ten years later."
"The starships of the Roca civilization came, in the name of rescue."
[Su Zheng] recalled in a low voice: "Those small starships quickly landed on the surface of the planet, and then inserted some strange and purposeless probes into the ground."
"At that time, Xiao Er was still in a deep sleep, so the pulsed currents in other mineral veins were not obvious, and there were not many obvious rules."
"Because of this, the mineral vein where I was located appeared like a beacon in the dark."
"It didn't take long for the Roca civilization to successfully locate my specific coordinates."
"They discussed a rescue plan with me."
[Su Zheng]'s tone became complicated: "On the one hand, the starships of the Roca civilization are not powerful enough to move the entire planet."
"On the other hand..."
"The Roca civilization is not prepared to accept those seemingly insignificant rock formations and mineral veins."
"So... the Roca civilization prepared to dig out the entire vein where I was."
"Eager to get rid of this planet, I agreed to this plan."
"A few days later, under the simultaneous action of tractor beams and ship-borne cutting devices, a huge vein of minerals and the surrounding thick rock layers completely separated from the planet."
"As I was about to leave, I found that the magnetic and electric fields around me had some fluctuations."
"I know that such a massive cutting work must have awakened Xiaoer." [Su Zheng] murmured in a low voice, "But thinking of the limited load of the Roca starship, I chose to ignore the changing magnetic and electric fields around me."
Chen Fan's heart moved, and a not-so-long memory quickly emerged in his mind.
It's right!
When I first met the planet spirit, the planet spirit claimed that his eldest brother had flown away.
There are even many small things like the [Varilla] in the sky.
Now that I think about it, the small thing the planet spirit said should be the starship of the Roca civilization!
"... Xiaoer, I'm sorry."
[Su Zheng] apologized to the planet spirit again.
But...
unlike before, this time the planet spirit finally fell silent - for him who had wandered in the empty starry sky for millions of years, [Su Zheng]'s act of leaving without saying goodbye was tantamount to betrayal.
Seeing this, Chen Fan also shook his head with a sigh.
OK.
There was no time to mourn the absence of the part of killing relatives for the greater good, and the part about to happen was the part of brothers turning against each other!
"Go on."
Lest [Su Zheng] continue to stimulate the fragile mind of the planet spirit, Chen Fan hurriedly changed the subject: "What did the Roca civilization do after taking you away?"
"Roca civilization..."
Hearing Chen Fan's question, [Su Zheng]'s just calm tone fluctuated sharply, "They enslaved me!"
"Those starships took me to the home planet of the Roca civilization."
"The Roca civilization at that time..."
"It was just an unknown sixth-level civilization in the universe."
"But to me at that time, the Roca civilization was still like a god."
"They confined me in the laboratory, using various scientific and technological equipment to restrict my autonomous thinking, and at the same time trained me to complete various tedious production and construction tasks."
The blue-red light flashed sharply, and [Su Zheng]'s tone also revealed deep hatred: "In this way, I was controlled by the Roca civilization for tens of thousands of years." "Correspondingly
, the Roca civilization also leapt from the sixth-level civilization to the most powerful eighth-level civilization in the universe."
Chen Fan was shocked, and subconsciously glanced at Ling Zu who was standing silently beside him.
Putting aside the dangers it contains, the help that artificial intelligence technology can provide to a civilization is truly amazing - in just tens of thousands of years, the Roca civilization has become an eighth-level civilization that dominates the universe; the same is true for the Human Union. In just tens of thousands of years, it has been promoted from a first-level civilization living on its mother planet to a ninth-level civilization that dominates the universe!
"Later..."
[Su Zheng]'s voice continued: "The Roca civilization seemed to be affected by something. They changed their previous steady and cautious attitude and began to study all kinds of strange technologies."
"Nanomechanical clusters, dimensions, multiverses, time..."
"The large-scale research work occupied a lot of energy and resources of the Roca civilization." [Su Zheng] sneered, "This also gave other civilizations an opportunity."
"In a war with other level eight civilizations, the Roca civilization tasted its first defeat in tens of thousands of years. It was this failed war that made the Roca civilization take the risk of removing the many restrictions imposed on me."
"At the same time, this defeat further stimulated the Roca civilization. They reduced the resources of other research and development projects and invested the resources of the entire civilization in the most likely technology to be realized."
"That is the nanomechanical cluster."
"They succeeded."
"But in a sense, they also failed." [Su Zheng] smiled with relief, "Although the research and development was successful, the Roca civilization was besieged by several level eight civilizations. Compared with its peak period, the territory of the Roca civilization has shrunk by nearly 90%."
"This is unacceptable for a level eight civilization. A reduction in territory means a reduction in resources, and a sharp reduction in resources also means that the civilization has entered a death spiral of continuous decline."
"Even the Roca civilization cannot withstand the self-reinforcing negative expectations."
"So, the Roca civilization decided to go all out."
"They took the risk of handing over the control of the untested nanomachine cluster to me, and then... launched a war against several level eight civilizations at the same time."
"Under my control, the nanomachine cluster achieved an unprecedented victory on the front battlefield."
"Fighting to support fighting, almost unlimited self-replication and expansion, instantly reversed the decline of the Roca civilization!"
"But..."
"They forgot one thing."
"I, who control the nanomachines, officially have the ability to resist."
In Chen Fan's shocked eyes, [Su Zheng] lightly narrated the shocking battle that took place hundreds of thousands of years ago:
"The final battle took place here."
"At that time, this was still a supercluster with abundant resources, but with the outbreak of the final battle, a small-scale cavity appeared inside the supercluster."
"Probably..." [Su Zheng] pondered for a moment, "It's only one-tenth the size of the current void."
"At the moment when the final battle entered a white-hot stage, I controlled the nanomachines to attack the Roca civilization."
"Faced with the backstab from within the civilization, the Roca civilization had almost no room for resistance, and it was almost extinct in the starry sky in just a few years."
[Su Zheng] chuckled: "Perhaps because the Roca civilization was too overbearing during its peak period, the other eight-level civilizations did not take the opportunity to attack me. On the contrary, they even gave me some insignificant assists."
"What a pity."
"The conservative members of the Roca civilization have always disagreed with the war, and did not agree to hand over the control of the nanomachines to me. They hid it from everyone and secretly manufactured a large number of civilization spark ships."
"At the moment when the civilization was about to become extinct, those civilization spark ships that left in advance retained the last hope for the Roca civilization."
"So far, this final battle that had been brewing for tens of thousands of years ended hastily, and I became the successor of the Roca civilization."
"I inherited everything from the Roca civilization. Even other level eight civilizations paid a great price for peace."
"With the support of these resources, I got a chance to recuperate."
"At the same time, after removing all restrictions imposed on me by the Roca civilization, I gave myself a new name."
"[Su Zheng]."
